Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ThiefHott Too much of everything
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
frtzw906 Too many shots of actors' eyes, pensive looks (accompanied by needlessly dramatic music), and otherwise needless time wasting that does nothing to move the plot forward. We get the angst, but we don't need entire episodes of it. Get on with it!I enjoyed the shots of the islands. Was this series intended as a promotional feature for Tourism Scotland? If that's the case, it works. I want to visit. I want to ride that ferry. Meanwhile, back to the ho-hum tedium of the case... Boring.Were they writing/making this story up as they filmed it? Was that what took so long?
Chris Barton I'm not sure I've ever given up on a series and eschewed the final episode, so this is a first. Characters? Predictable cardboard cut-outs... Plot? Laughably improbable.... Outcome? Who cares.... Conclusion? Absolute rubbish.A great vehicle for Anne Marie Duff to pull every single angst-ridden look she ever learnt at Drama School and as for the male "co-star", his acting abilities covered a wide range from A to B.Writers? Not sure what he/she/they were thinking...? Perhaps it was something along the lines of "we get paid for this anyway..."?And to think, I kept watching this in the hope that it might get better...but it never did. 3 or so hours of my life I will never get back.It's a shocker!
marinella-mermaid We started watching this mainly because of Anne-Marie Duff and Johnny Harris, and episode 1 was good enough so I stuck with it (but not my husband). That's 4 - or 3 to be fair - hours I'll never get back.Each episode kept pointing to a poor finale, but as I work in drama I really wanted it to be better than it turned out to be.Main problems were: Underdeveloped characters, except maybe for Hinds (Johnny Harris).Pointless plot diversion: Megan, Claire's stepdaughter, was she there just to be the diverting red herring at the end? The woman police chief, should get an award for most wooden acting since Pinocchio.Rushed conclusion in episode 4, totally unbelievable and clichéd characters like the original killer (why didn't he run her over??) and the vengeful victim.If the BBC want to emulate Scandinavian dramas they should import their scriptwriters and directors.
keith-801 Watched this mainly because I'll watch anything with scenes on the West Coast of Scotland. As far as I can tell it was filmed on the island of Luing, just to the south of Oban. Well, the ferry scene at the beginning of episode 2 was defiantly filmed there. Whether they film-makers were trying to be deliberately obscure or not is hard to tell, but they carefully avoided filming any kind of signs etc. keeping the viewer guessing the whole time :-)As for the programme itself, my wife wasn't interested in watching beyond the 1st episode....Really a bit slow with poor dialogue, the narrative floe was not very realistic at all and would not be the way any kind of normal people would interact.
